The common shirtdress, a staple in nearly every woman’s wardrobe. Versatile, chic, simple. It had a pronounced presence on the runway, showing up in Bottega Venetta, Rag & Bone, Proenza Schouler, Nanette Lepore, and a few others. Paired with a polished blazer or cosy cardi, heels or flat boots, the shirtdress is somewhat of a [...]

Trend: Sweats + Heels
Posted in shopping, trends, tagged fashion, style, trends, shopping, isabel marant, rag & bone on August 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A while back, I saw (in some magazine, now sadly forgotten) a model sitting against a wall, wearing track pants and heels and for some reason loved it. Now sweats + heels is making a major appearance on a few fashion-forward ladies who crave chic comfort. On the runway and the street, sweats are back. [...]

Another thing about trends…
You can describe someone as “trendy,” meaning that they know and wear all the latest trends, but that does not necessarily mean they have great personal style. Trends, really, do the opposite of what you’d like them to do: if you wear them and so does everyone else, it just makes you [...]

So yesterday I went in – gasp – American Eagle with my friend A, not intending to buy anything… because, well, it’s AE. But I saw hanging on little hooks near the floor striped knit bandeau bras and couldn’t help myself. It was $7 and coral and I’m wearing it today and I’m going to [...]
How Fashion Is Like The Stock Market

In the fashion industry, trends are sort of like stock: you see them in the shows, and if you think – for example – fringe is going to be big, you give that designer raving reviews and then rush to the store to snap up the best, chicest fringed pieces you can find. Pretty soon, [...]
5.09 // What’s the matter with the clothes I’m wearing, can’t you tell that they’re out of style…

Another semi-dreary day here. Shopping and planning for mother’s day and planning a French video…
So I read an article somewhere in the Tubes questioning whether denim cutoffs were “A Spring Must-Have or So Last Season”. Umm, what? I can see questioning cuts of pants or something – ankle/stovepipe vs. bootcut or whatever – but really, [...]

Actually, I’ll start with the cacti problem. I suppose it’s just the one cactus, but ‘Cacti Problem’ sounds cooler (also, it could be the name of a band…). Anyway, I can’t seem to get this silly cactus to stand up straight or keep its limbs/branches intact and not falling off. It’s growing quite well, but [...]

Haha, quite possibly the most random post ever. I’ll start with Obama’s visits abroad: England and Russia. England was important – meeting the Queen and all that – and it was quite a different experience than his last trip there.
“Mr. Obama walked through the famous doorway for the first time less than four years ago. [...]

Yeah, so my last few posts have been highly… sporadic & random, to say the least. Basically anything I’ve found that’s cool, or anything interesting that’s popped up in my feed reader (thank you Google!!) Sometime soon I’ll get around to doing a post with an actual theme, but for now… more sporadic fashion!
I’ll start [...]

Ah, another delayed post… I started this at 7, and it’s 10 now. (I found Blazing Saddles on AMC… truly hilarious movie. Really.)
A few things:
- Greenland is mad at Peter Jensen for featuring their traditional kamik boots (more than slightly altered, of course) in his fall collection. It’s gotten as far as death threats. Who [...]
